GEORGE HENRY EULER, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

CURTAIN -ROD HOLDER.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. EULER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved CurtainRod Holder, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a curtain-rod holder which is simple in construction, neat in appearance, and one which can be conveniently adjusted.

Still other objects of the invention will appear in the following specification in which the preferred form of my curtain-rod holder is described.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts in all of the views, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in which my curtain-rod holder is mounted on a window frame;

Fig. 9 is a vertical section of the window frame shown in Fig. 1 and illustrating my invention; and

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing my curtain-rod holder.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that a plurality of brackets 5 are pro vided, preferably four in number, each of these brackets 5 being supported in adjusted position on an elongated member 6. Each of the elongated members 6 has orifices 7 through which screws may be disposed for securing the elongated members to the window frame 8. As will be seen by referring to F ig. 1 of the drawings, there are two pairs of these elongated members 6, the upper pair being disposed at the sides of the window frame 8, and the lower pair of the elongated members 6 being disposed one below each of the elongated members of the upper pair. There are a plurality of openings 9 in each of the elongated members 6, these openings 9 in each of the members 6 being spaced apart, one above the other. Each of the upper elongated members 6 is beveled at the bottom of each opening 9, and each of the lower elongated members 6 is beveled at the upper edge of each opening 9.

As has been stated, there are four brackets 5, one for each of the elongated members 6. Each of these brackets 5 has a base 10 for disposal against one of the elongated Specification of Letters Patent.

members 6, there being a projection 11 on the rear face of each bracket. The lower edge of each projection 11 on the upper brackets 5 is under cut at 12, the upper edges of the projections 11 on the lower brackets 5 being similarly cut to fit the bev eled edges of the elongated member 6 at the openings 9. As has been stated, the proj ections l1 are on the rear faces of the bases 10. Hooks 13 extend forwardly from the bases 10, the hooks 13 being connected with the bases 10 between the projections 11 and the ends 14 of the said bases. The terminals 15 of the hooks 13 are bent away from the said ends 14 of the bases 10.

One of the upper brackets is disposed with its base 10 against one of the upper elongated members 6 and with its projection 11 disposed in one of the openings 9. The under-cut lower edge 12 of the projection 11 will fit the beveled edge at the bottom of the opening 9, the hook 13 being connected with the base 10 below the projection 11 so that any downward pressure on the hook 13 will not disengage the projection 11 from the elongated member 6 at the opening 9 therein in which the projection 11 has been disposed after the adjustment of the bracket. A curtain rod 16 is disposed on the hooks 13. The lower elongated members 6 are disposed with the beveled edges at the top of the openings 9. The lower brackets 5 are also reversed so that the terminals 15 of the hooks 13 will be disposed downwardly and .the under-cutl portions 12 of the projections 11 will be disposed upwardly. A rod 17 is then disposed under the hooks 13, a curtain 18 being secured to the said rod 17, and also to the rod 16, so that the brackets 5 may be moved downwardly to tighten the curtain, after which the projections 11 may be disposed in the adjacent opening 9 in the elongated member 6 to secure the curtain in the desired position.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

In an article of the class described, two pairs of members one pair disposed below the other pair, each member having an opening for a bracket, the inner sides 0f the upper members being beveled at the bottom of the openings and the inner sides of the lower members being beveled at the top of the openings, a plurality of brackets each having a base for disposal against-the outer side of a member, a plurality of projections one extending from a face of each base for disposal in the opening in the member against which the base is disposed, the loWer edges of the projections on the upper brackets and the upper edgesof the projectionson the n lower brackets being under-eut to fit the bevsupporting a curtain.
